@dwarddd - I hope you came just as properly prepared for this match as our last tournament encounter! Actually quite interested to see what you do with Purple on this map.
BIG GAME HUNTERS: Each player gets an extra [2 gold] during each of their upkeeps.

dwarddd plays a super strong purple game - and could basically go with any spec here, so I don’t know what to expect, especially with this crazy map in play.
My experience is that Balance goes pretty good against Purple. So I think I’ll look to do that.
@Akiata oh yh im prepared for some big game hunting, the Vortoss have come to conquer the forest

*I’ll try to remember but if my worker count ever seems 2 workers too high it’s because ive got some big game workers in the spreadsheet
Thoughts
now then, all this extra gold makes present very attractive to me as usually i find my main restriction with it is lack of money; i reckon they will go… growth? also thinking card draw is gonna be nice (again present is good) for this turn though, im rlly feeling the lack of combative hero, also wish i hadnt drawn temporal distortion this turn
Fear not! It’s been my experience (owing largely to my alarmingly regular absentmindedness) that there are a cadre of competent correctors close by (to whom I am genuinely grateful) that will appear to help with any accounting anomalies we may accidentally accrue.

Well this kinda ensures that I’ll see Origin Story. But tbh, with all this cash floating around, it seems like Origin Story (and a max level Prynn) was always on the cards.
Even if dwarddd manages card draw shennanigans to play Origin Story next turn, I can still resummon Midori and Circle of Life up some useful units. In theory.
Well, pulled two Circle of Lifes…Circle of Lives? Some cunning stunts could be coming.

Vir up front seems fishy. Definitely feels like dwarddd would be well served by summoning another hero next turn. Prynn + Origin Story, or Rewind definitely threatening, though Rewind might be a tad expensive. And I’d really rather not see Prynn trash any Tech II units I manage to Circle of Life into play. But Basilisk might be the answer there.
So what stunts can I pull with 2x Circles of Life? I think I hadn’t properly considered the possibilities … there’s nothing that’s going to turn the game on the spot.

50/50 chance of drawing hype this way, had i gone for Max instead if fargo would have been 70% but why not make him pay the one (also feared him switching midori to another hero then free levels actually become effective

lolll this should make it fun
Thanks @Legion that actually tipped me towards doing this as his mimic is unbuffable now : )
yea, sorry Akiata, if the trick of putting the extra workers into the sheet confused the issue, but you dont actually have the 10 workers required to stop teching.
Ok, well, just barely clinging to life here, I’d say the end is nigh. Can I get away with building Tech 3 here? Probably not.
Tricycloid + Nullcraft will be lethal. I’ll have to neutralise Nullcraft with Mimic. Means leaving Geiger alone for now. Temporal Distortion + Now! means I could be looking at a Voidstar. So I’ll have to patrol the Mimic methinks.
Yh I’m afraid in order to survive you had to both kill Max and build a tower, that wouldve had me scared but as it was there were a couple of ways i had lethal, GG!
